Executive Summary

Over the next three years, 10 industries will fight an epic battle to control the digital home. At stake: billions of dollars deriving from six new power positions — personal entertainment, intelligent devices, core services, immersive experiences, collaborative experiences, and app-device combinations. Who will win? Cable, game, PC, and software firms have the upper hand. Retailers, CE, and satellite TV are behind. Expect the battle to spur alliances like Apple-TiVo, Best Buy-BancTec, HP-Kodak, NFL-News Corp., and Sony-Clear Channel.
